Summary: Lots-O-Fun
Review: How To Meet Cute Boys is definitely in the marshmallow-fluff category, but everyone needs a little junk food now and then. The writing was smart, hilarious and fast-paced, and the little magazine 'articles' were clever and almost too cutesy. The only thing that annoyed me is that the heroine takes her desperation and worry toooo far. It kinda got old, but all in all it was a fun read. Looking forward to the author's next endeavor.

Summary: Pure fun!
Review: How to Meet Cute Boys is one fun novel! I laughed out loud on so many occasions. The novel/magazine style is clever -- the protagonist is Filly magazine's "sexpert" -- and the graphics, articles and Cosmo-like quizzes are great treats. I also love the L.A. dating scene as the novel's backdrop. I could relate to Benjamina Franklin's plights. She makes the same relationship mistakes she warns her readers about. She is a tad neurotic, but isn't that the reason why we read these books in the first place? Isn't neurosis one of single women's signature traits? How to Meet Cute Boys isn't food for the intellect. It's a fun, quirky read to enjoy while taking a bubble bath and gulping on martinis.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Listen to the book on tape and crack up.
Review: I "read" this book on tape and found it to be hilarious. The book was good and the narrator was just perfect for the part with very amusing voices. I would recommend this to my girlfriends.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: I read this book very quickly because of the authors easy writing style and cute cartoons.

Parts of this book were downright laugh at loud funny with references to pop culture and celebrity status. (Casey Kasem, Kato, musical references, 1980's culture).

This isnt a heavy literary novel, its something that is light, humorous and a fun book in between heavier reads.

I recommend this book if you want to laugh!

Summary: That's All?!?
Review: I thought this book was very clever and entertaining. It kept my attention throughout the story. I sympathized with the main character even though I have not been in the same situation as her - so I consider the writing to be good enough. But, when it came to the ending, I felt that it was very weak. I was expecting the story to continue for another 10 pages or so, but instead, the story ended and the book concluded with 10 blank pages. The ending (or lack thereof) reduced my rating. If the ending had been stronger, I would have given the story 5 stars.

Summary: insightful, hilarious and bitingly witty
Review: Kizis manages to write a witty, insightful, yet light novel that transcends the girl genre. it creeps up on you, like a night of slow drinking. There are elements of Benjamina that resonate in us all, the insecurity and self-doubt we all fight, while putting on a pretty face externally. This book shows what it's really like to live in the big city, yet yearn to find real love even amidst the dirt of Hollywood.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A First-Rate Read!
Review: Ms. Kizis has written a wonderful account of young love gone horribly awry, filled with hilarious observations on the single life and animated by sharp wit and inventive language. Protagonist Benjamina is a study in obsessive attachment and its inevitable consequences, yet even in her darkest hours she manages to crank out the sharp, funny magazine articles that crop up throughout the story (illustrated brilliantly by Ed Brogna). Put together, it's both a terrific example of its genre and a keen-eyed commentary upon it. Recommended to anyone who is -- or ever has been -- single and smart.
